Punjab has been severely impacted by the recent floods, with several districts submerged under water, causing widespread damage to crops, homes, and infrastructure. In response, the Central Government has stepped in to provide major relief to the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have both assured full support for Punjab’s recovery.
The government has announced financial aid for the victims, including compensation for the loss of life, damaged property, and destroyed crops. The flood-hit areas will also receive assistance for rebuilding homes and restoring essential infrastructure like roads and schools. Relief teams, including National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), have been deployed to provide immediate help to the affected regions.
The central government has released an advance installment of ₹240 crore for Punjab under the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) for the financial year 2025-26. This decision was made in light of the devastating flood situation in the state. The funds will be utilized for immediate relief and rehabilitation efforts.
The state has also seen an increase in rescue operations, with military and paramilitary forces joining hands with local authorities to evacuate people from submerged areas. The government has urged citizens to stay alert and follow safety guidelines during this critical time.
As floodwaters begin to recede, the state’s recovery process will focus on rehabilitation efforts and providing support to farmers who have suffered immense crop loss. The central government’s intervention is expected to significantly aid in restoring normalcy across the state.
